I found the invite in a blank envelope on my kitchen counter this morning. It was not addressed so I believe it must have been sent over with one of my kids from my neighbor sometime yesterday since I was home all day and no one came by.
If it asks for an RSVP then you should let them know whether or not you'll be there. If not, then don't worry about it. Go if you can and want to go or don't go if you can't or don't want to. If you feel the need to give a gift for the new baby, do it whenever it's convenient for you. You really aren't obligated to do anything unless there is an RSVP on the invitation.

I'd love to come, but I already had plans.

Actually, you are required to respond to an invitation, whether it says RSVP or not. And since it is such short notice, a phone call is best. Either "Thank you, I'll be there" or "I'm afraid I can't come".

You either want to go, you don't want to go, or you'd love to go but you have other plans. If you decline simply because your tiny little feelings are hurt because they didn't give proper notice, then you are surely infected with the Princess Syndrome and totally ridiculous.
Actually I read just yesterday someone saying that one of the most stupid questions of all times was about whether or not a lady should go to a BBQ, because she didn't feel that she had been invited properly, and that to "show" the host who was who, she'd stay away and "teach him a lesson". Isn't that a bit over the top in the silliness (and human) department?

Is it possible that one of your kids may have gotten the invitation a while back, and only just remembered to give it to you? You really don't have enough information to know. Or maybe the party is last minute. Call the hostess and tell her you just found the invitation on your table, and wondered about it. Whether or not you go is your decision. Do whatever you want.

If you can go, then RSVP and apologize saying what you just said here. People understand things like that happen if they send it with a kid.
If you can't go, then RSVP saying that you can't make it and apologize about not getting it in time (the kids being the reason again).
